Easy Spring Hot Chocolate Bombs Recipe

When you’re looking to spend some quality time with your kids, these hot chocolate bombs are sure to get their attention. These aren’t difficult to make, and result in a completely edible product that can be given as gifts, placed into Easter baskets as a treat or shared as a gift to brighten someone’s day. While I wanted to show how they look colored, you can skip the colors and add pizzazz with sprinkles, if you prefer. Hot to make Hot Chocolate Bombs: (Scroll down for full printable recipe.)

• Melt Chocolate – Place white chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water. Melt, stirring occasionally until smooth. Keep warm while you work.
• If coloring, remove just enough melted white chocolate to a small mixing bowl one at a time, depending on how many colors you’re making. Add a few drops of food coloring to melted chocolate repeating until the desired color is reached. Work quickly, mix well. (You can skip the food coloring leaving it white and decorate with colorful sprinkles, if preferred)
• Transfer to Molds – Spoon melted chocolate into each mold and “paint” the entire mold evenly using the back of a small spoon or a pastry brush. Make sure you get the chocolate all the way to the top of the mold. Once molds are filled, while still wet, use a pastry bench scraper OR the dull side of a knife to scrape across the mold to flatten and smooth the edges.
• Let Dry – Allow molds to rest until chocolate is hardened 5-15 minutes.
• Remove from Molds – Wearing latex gloves, gently pop chocolate spheres out of molds, being careful not to chip or break them.
• Fill – Fill one half with 3 generous Tbsp hot chocolate mix and a few pastel marshmallows plus sprinkles, if desired. 
• Seal with Warm Chocolate – Use additional melted chocolate to brush or pipe along the edge to form the edible “glue.” Working quickly, press together to seal the two halves and smooth.
• Drizzle tops with melted white chocolate and decorate with pastel sprinkles as desired. Let dry completely in a muffin pan.
• Serve – To serve place one bomb in an 8 ounce mug and pour hot milk or water over it stirring until melted.
• Hot cocoa bombs can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.

How to Make the Best Spring Hot Chocolate Bombs Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Hot Chocolate Bombs: Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers, hot chocolate mix, heavy cream, pastel mini marshmallows, pastel sprinkles and gel food coloring.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Silicone hot chocolate bombs molds, measuring cups and spoons, double boiler, latex gloves, pastry brush (preferably silicone), pastry scraper, piping bag or ziploc bag with the corner cut off, muffin pans, small bowls (amount depends on how many colors you’re making) and mugs for serving.
• These pastel colored hot cocoa bombs make very cute little Easter gifts. Place them into cellophane bags and tie them with a ribbon or combine them with a cute mug and tuck into an Easter basket.
• Gel food coloring does not blend well with chocolate, liquid food coloring works best.
• If the chocolate becomes too thick, add 1 tsp heavy cream or whipping cream at a time, and stir until melted and well blended. This can happen after adding coloring to melting chocolate
• If  you don’t have a double boiler bring an inch of water to a simmer and place a smaller pot or heat safe bowl on top. Be careful not to let the water touch the bottom of the bowl.
• An alternate way to smooth the edges: You can warm a plate over the double boiler just until it’s hot enough to melt the chocolate edges. Place one sphere edge side down on the plate to smooth and melt slightly, then bring  the two sides together to seal.
•  A plastic storage bag can be used in place of a piping bag. Snip the edge or use a toothpick to poke a small hole in one of the corners.
